Belle and Sebastian
Waiting for the Moon to Rise
[Verse 1]
All the way back home, I'm telling you I caught the sun
Creeping up behind my shoulder, another day's begun
I was following a trail I'd never been along before
Chasing darkened skies above me
Looking like the spring
Like the winter and the morning

[Chorus]
If there's a place I wanna go, then I'll be there with you
'Cause in my dreams the things I'm wishing for keep coming true

[Verse 2]
Now a new day comes, clears the darkness out of sight
And the shadows that were sleeping come and dance beneath the light
And I'm trying hard to hide, keep the sun out of my eyes
Close them tight and now I'm waiting for the moon to rise

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Don't try to say to me that this was never meant to be
'Cause the days are long where I come from, the next few days I'm free
There's a train I want to catch, but it won't leave here for a while
Till darkness fills the eastern sky and streetlights stretch for miles
Through the spring
And the winter
And the morning
